PDC/360 cameras can activate anywhere the car senses a potential collision be it forward or backward. The standard rear cross traffic collision only activates when going in reverse.

As for the OP question, if your garage opening is narrow, the distance from the side to the mirrors might be the reason something triggers the PDC or if something is left in the garage thats close to the car when its pulling in, it might activate. Sometimes, they come on too early even though u know u rnt to hit them and they r far from its path.
